Néo-trad
Néo-trad is a musical style from Quebec that arose around the turn of the 21st century. It can be considered a subgenre of Québécois folk music.

History It basically constitutes modernized Quebec folklore music, usually mixed with rock and/or electronica. Some notable néo-trad artists are Mes Aïeux, and Les Cowboys Fringants. Okoumé can also be considered a néo-trad precursor.
